The alchemist

I have seen great kingdoms
I've seem them rise and fall
I am a thousand years old
Maybe a thousand more
The story's now forgotten
The paper's long gone dried
The ashes of the magician
Are spread with the wind and fire

I am not afraid of my own blood
I can share with you so much more
Stable and balanced I am here
Breathing in breathing out

Sometimes I wish that I was back in babylon
Drinking wine with nostalgia
A blessed disease I'd laugh at you dementia

I can blow your mind
I can blow your mind

The trees so stark shake like leaves
The garden is under siege
The storm cries war lieutenant speaks
This holy man the alchemist

I can blow your mind
I can blow your mind

Put a word in my mouth and watch me swallow
Dig a hole into the ground
The funeral orchestra

Slow down your pace is high
Your brutalised by one man's hate
Slow down kill his love
Retribute
Retribution

I can blow your mind
I can blow

I'm here again witch perspective eyes
Deception still lingers on
But I'm no one to categorize
I'm a free man on my own
Looking back upon the disrespect
Next time I'm ready to fight
Unlike a soldier in a battlefield
I'll pull my horses back and leave
